Striped Marlin:

Lots of stripes again feasted on schooling baitfish in Magdalena Bay in late fall, and now many of those are making their way south, closer to Cabo San Lucas, within reach of the resort town’s sport-fishers, and even pangas. In Kiwi waters, warm summer currents spark a seasonal influx of big striped marlin. Local hot spots there include Bay of Islands, New Plymouth, Whitianga, Tauranga, Tairua and Hokianga.
